Method

Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat the oil
in a large, shallow ovenproof pan, add the chicken
and cook for 3-4 mins until golden all over. Remove
from pan and set aside.

Add the onion and peppers, and cook for 3 mins
or until lightly golden. Tip in the garlic and fry for
a min. Stir in the rice, then the tomatoes, stock
and reserved chicken. Turn up the heat and bring
to the boil before transferring to the oven to cook,
uncovered, for 20 mins. Season to taste and drizzle
over the pesto before serving.

A simple quick family meal, not one to impress, but certainly good for adults and young children. I made it because it sounded similar to an M&S kids meal I buy my 4 year old son, he's very fussy and always likes the M&S meal. This was perfect as it was very similar and he loved it. I used small cubed carrots and courgettes instead of peppers and added more garlic and used ordinary onion. It was so easy and very tasty. Highly recommend as a quick tasty and healthy family meal :-)

Really love this recipe, made it for the first time today and will definately make again and again. Added some chilli flakes for a bit of a kick and parmesan cheese grated on top at the end and it really tasted delicious. Hubby loved it!!!

Tried this recipe for the first time tonight. Added mushrooms (as I needed to use them up) and only had red peppers, which were fine. Tasted the dish when I took it out of the oven and thought it was quite bland and missing something - then added 4 tablespoons of red sundried tomato pesto from a jar - YUMMY!! Will definately make this one again.

Fabulous mid week easy meal. The whole family enjoyed it. (Even the fussy eater!) Is sure to become a family favourite. I added a little extra rice, because we love it and 100ml of extra stock. Can't wait to make it again.
